I changed the weapon launch sounds in two parts of the script with the one that the rolling tower uses. I saved the .bos file, packed, tried it, and I get the same fire weapon sound from before. I have win7 64bit, do you guys think this could be an issue? Nothing works every time I do a change with scriptor, even for simple stuff like changing sounds.

Did you compile it? xDD
Stupid question, but you said you just saved the .bos file. xD

Also, how are you defining the sounds? They should be defined like that: play-sound( "*****SOUNDNAME****", PLAYSOUND_PRIORITY_BATTLE );

I struggled compiling a file for a while until someone told me that you can't recompile files back into .cob. So whatever changes you make they have to be done in .bos format and saved that way. And also you need both files the original .cob and .bos for the unit to work.

Eh, what? I don't follow all these "rules" and everything works.

Can you write step by step on how to deal with an Otak unit on descripting and recompiling after a change has been made? Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Okay then, here we go:

First you open scriptor:


Then click open and select .cob files if you are going to decompile:


Select your .cob:


Check these options:


And Descript, it's going to seem like that:


Let's try a change, when Elsin fires his first attack:


Don't forget put parenthesis into "get CURRENT_SPEED":


Click Save .bos here (in the little disk):


Click compile:


Check if no errors have been found by Scriptor:


Take your .cob and pack it into your mod:


Okay now, here is my little mod:


And Here is what happen in-game:


Lol. ;D

Awesome, thanks man. I always had errors trying to recompile the .cob. I'll definitely try this.

I did it just like you posted, but I get this error:

"Compiling Bos...
Compiling sfxtype.h
Compiling exptype.h
Compiling SmokeUnit.h

Error (34): Expected identifier [ C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\The NewEra 3.8\scripts\zontri.bos ]
Error (34): Invalid PreProcessor command 'INF' [ C:\Users\Owner\Desktop\The NewEra 3.8\scripts\zontri.bos ]

One or more errors occured while compiling the script."

The INF is on every animation.

Would the changes I made still work even If I get an error compiling?

Where exactly?

Depends of the gravity of the error. If it's of none importance (just a warning), it will continue compiling. If it is important, it will stop compiling.
You can notice if it compiled, it will show:
"Making Cob...
Wrote %path%\name.cob"

If it doesn't show, it didn't compile.

I finally fixed it. For some reason I couldn't recompile .cob files back because I needed the angular and linear values. Mine for some reason were set to 0.000000. They are located under script/ settings.

Linear = 163840.000000
Angular = 182.000000

Both Output file and directory need to be checked.

There you go Sage! Put that education to work! J/K Good Job.
